That must be out of context. Three-year olds don't even have a fully developed theory of mind: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_mind https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_mind. They confuse what they think themselves with what they think the other thinks.

According to the article the person that said that was then repeatedly asked if they really meant it and they said they did with reference to their prior utterance. Later they back-pedaled on the statement (presumably because of the fall-out) but at the moment of the original statement they were very much aware of what they were saying and the context seems to be accurate.

  And if I told that I have live edited mission critical production code on the server, and I mean it - there are two readings - 1) I am crazy 2) My company is so broken that it was inevitable. After all - he was TEACHING them immigration law. With patience. I have no experience with USA legal system but teaching law does not seem like a item on a judge's jobs description list. The shameful part was that said kids were brought before him.

“I have to do a case-by-case basis determination,” Weil responded, before declaring that he has taught immigration law to 3- and 4-year-olds.

Um, ok, but I didn't confuse what I thought with what others thought when I was 3.

  There is literally no way for you to know that, because the facilities you would have needed to know it only grew in later. Your memory is not at all definitive here, because we make up memories to make things make sense, at this level.

    I'll take a stab and say that at 3-4 years old I had a pretty decent idea that other people had a mind of their own. It wasn't so easily learned but oddly enough I picked it up around 3 that I knew my mind was wholly separated from my sister, mom, dad, and grand parents. I can't explain how I got the concept down I just did. A better way to explain it is that it's also when my memories become far more concrete was around 3 years old (about the time I got into Transformers and He-man. An odd way to place it but it was definitely when things got more like what they are now, before then it was a mushy blur of noise and color tbh.).

    That's what you say, but the argument is circular. Not saying you're wrong---but you're not obviously right.
